So my question is whats the swap for? And can I choose a higher allocation when partitioning my sd card? will i get speed improvement? in terms of phone usage?
Currently Running:
T-mobile G1 rooted
Superfly TCBY FroYo v1.1 for D/S, Release v1.1
DANGER SPL
UPDATED RADIO
8GB PNY Mini SD Card
I suggest to not use swap. In most cases it will slow down your phone. If you need a bit more memory, using compcache could be a way to go.

Swap and compcache are virtual memory, i.e. memory that is used like ram, but really it's on disk. The kernel is 'swapping' in and out parts of the memory to disk and back to memory. The same is for compcache, but here a compressed ram-disk is used., so you will gain a bit of memory, but always related with slowing down your phone.

hey people, I'm just 12 and I'm not as experienced. I have modaco 1.5.1 hero ROM, a 2gb sd with 32mb swap and 512 ext4 the weird thing is that after 162 apps my g1 says can't install app. is this because I need more space on my sd, or it can't handle 162 apps. oh and does anyone know the swap settings for swapper and some advice or anything to make this modaco run even faster and smoother. thank yall!!
162 Apps is a little extreme.. You've quite possibly filled the card.. consider deleting some that you don't use?

Is your friend running stock ROM?
Go to Settings > SD card and Storage and see what it says for free internal memory. I remember getting that message when mine was under 15 MB. I had too many apps on internal memory. I switched to a ROM that had apps2sd and now I have 100+ MB Free.

Sweet! His phone isn't rooted yet but I'm good with knowing how to root phones. What ROM has that apps2sd app thou? I have a samsung fascinate soo I don't know much about the hero lol. And its a stock ROM rom btw
1sT GeAr, U MaD??
Almost all ROMs now have apps2sd integrated.
If your friend wants to stay "stock" with the Sense UI, anything by nfinitefx45 is quality. He just released a ROM based on the newest Sprint release this morning! Check it out

If you want something completely new, froyo AOSP, check out CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1.. it's perfectly stable.

With both you'll get a lot more internal memory than stock ROM. If you still want A2SD, it's built in nfinitefx45's, and if you want it for CM6 then just run the easy froyo a2sdext in my signature. Just partition the SD card to ext2 and then upgrade from ext2 to ext3 before installing nfinitefx and it will work automatically. If using with CM6, partition anytime before running the script.

Exactly right, or for no sense but more speed, try CM 6.1.0
Or try AOSP!

That works too
low memory
Low memory can slow down the phone... lag the hell out of it if there is no room for "working" memory. You won't be able to view photos or listen to musice if you have too much on your phone. Been there done that flashed on cm6 no problems since.
i am using Motorola Milestone with MIUI ROM, Overclocked to 1.2GHz, 1GB EXT partition and 300MB Swap partition.
i want to know that how can i usee my swap partition as virtual RAM for my mobile. is there any app for that or any tweak. plz tell.
on milestone swap does NOT work

Hi
I want to buy a refurbished Nexus One to install Android 4.0 or 4.1 on it. and this will be my first android phone
But I'm worried about it's little ROM !just 512MB
How much memory will be available after installing 4.0 for apps ?
Can I install apps on SD memory card completely or they will use some of ROM memory too ?
Does installing 4.0 courses my apps and games run slower than before ?
Thsnks a lot
if u need to run anything beyond 2.3 then u need to install BLACKROSE (a custom bootloader) and change the hboot partitions.
and yes u need to partition ur sd card and apps should be placed in sd ext, which might be lil slower

Thanks a lot
If I use SD Memory ,internal ROM will not be used for apps at all? You mean the partition on SD memory will be used instead ?
Can I use SD mem on 2.3 version too ?
Can I use a high speed SD to speed up running apps ?
Can I do All this thing with HTC Desire too ? these two phones are so similar !
Thanks

yes you can. you need to create ext partition first. provided your rom/kernel supports it(which every rom/kernel does)
yes you can do this wid gb roms too.
u need a fast sd (class 6 or above) for apps n games to load faster

Although the N1 has only 512MB, don't underestimate its ability to take on ICS and JB ROMs The latest JB 4.2 ROM can be flashed on N1!!!
I read this article about increasing the RAM on Android phones, basically it included partitioning your SD card and installing some software. And I was wondering if any of you have tried it or think it works with Desire C using CM10?

Having more ram doesn't make your phone faster. Partitioning your SD card means sacrificing storage for stuff that most of the times don't work that well. My personal opinion is to not go there.
